Dhamaal the Bollywood Comedy flick that was released back in 2007 was directed by Indra Kumar and it starred Sanjay Dutt, Riteish Deshmukh, Aashish Chaudhary, Arshad Warsi and Javed Jaffrey. This film was a remake of the 1963 American Comedy, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
Although, the script for the sequel Dhamaal 2 is ready but the film can't go on the floors. The reason behind this was that producers Ashok Thakeria and Indra Kumar (who is also the director) have been denied remake rights of Disney's 1993 Hollywood flick Cool Runnings on which Dhamaal 2 is based.
According to some sources, "The duo were sure of the go-ahead from Walt Disney. For their earlier film Daddy Cool, Thakeria had managed to secure the rights for Boney M's popular song of the '80s Daddy Cool. As they had gone through the paperwork and technicalities involved, they thought it was a familiar procedure."
When Disney turned down their request Dhamaal 2 went off track. Indra Kumar however quoted, "The scripting of Dhamaal 2 is still on. The sequel has not gone on the floors because the script is not ready. Our film is a comedy but not based on any Hollywood film nor did we seek any remake rights. These are just stories that people are floating."
